Question - Whyte 19c donor bike & Orange P7
Discussion
Chaps - unfortunately cash being a bit tight (had to forego the Chameleon), I'm now considering using my Whyte 19C as a donor bike to an Orange P7.
Really just looking for a heads up on the kind of compatability issues I could expect? From first glance, I'm looking at new seatpost and front mech. I am running 100mm Rockshox SID XX forks on the Whyte and I note that the P7 from 2011 was optimised around 130mm. Is this going to cause issues?
I'm expecting chainset to be ok since although Whyte 19c has the BB30 bottom bracket, the bike shop which built it used a reducer in order to use a normal XTR bottom bracket.
Reason for this strange turnaround is that I need a strong bike to take a Weeride child seat to schlepp my daughter around on. Unfortunately I have two carbon bikes in my stable and unless I want to virtually give the Whyte 19c away (cost me 4k to build it), I'd rather use it as a donor bike.
Any other suggestions welcome.
